Critics' Quotes
As I Lay Dying is a remarkable illustration of [the fusion of form and content], for in this tour de force the author blends the architectonic structure of a wheel within a wheel with subject matter based on the age-old quest resulting in geographically, psychologically, and philosophically cyclical movement.
Addie Bundren, a farmer's wife from the backwoods hills of Mississippi, has just died, and in order to respect her last wish her family undertakes a long and perilous journey to carry her coffin to a distant graveyard at Jefferson. That is the story of As I Lay Dying.

Darl parts with his dying mother for a mere three dollars. Still, the point is that the Bundrens’ poverty is so restrictive that it affects all their decisions, even during this family crisis.

The first video is a video of other people taking interest and having fun with the book I have read. The people in the video had some fun making a video about the book. This could be a fun assignment Ms. Griffith ( slightly obvious cough). LOL
The second video, honestly I couln't find another video and that one was amusing so I just put it there for the half a point that I will hopefuly get for not having a second video. Also the fact that I don't have a paragraph to explain the first or second video, well this is explaining why I have the second video, I guess. The only reason I'm still typing is because my webpage assignment is crapy and I need all the points that I can get. THE END
